Microalbuminuria affects 8-15% of nondiabetic hypertensives; leaves open its prognostic value without higher-level evidence.
Is microalbuminuria a marker of cardiovascular and renal risk in patients with primary hypertension?
Microalbuminuria is a valuable marker for identifying higher global cardiovascular risk and target organ damage in patients with primary hypertension.
Pontremoli et al. (2002) conducted a review in Primary hypertension. Microalbuminuria was evaluated. Microalbuminuria serves as a specific, integrated marker of cardiovascular risk and target organ damage in primary hypertension, identifying patients at higher global risk.
